Activiti 6 is here and it brings a number of significant updates to its core functionality. The main highlights are: Pluggable Persistence. Previously, the persistence logic was spread across different parts of the code. This made it hard to maintain and impossible to customise. Now, persistence logic has been centralised.

PersonalBrain 5 is out. A new year is out and I haven't posted anything yet. Now seems like a great time for a new, long, rambling review of PersonalBrain followed up by a bit of philosophizing.

First up: What's new?

The coolest changes in PersonalBrain (okay maybe not the coolest) are the changes I submitted myself. A few months ago I created some open source icons and sent in some suggestions as to how PersonalBrain could look more natural in OS X. TheBrain (the company that makes PersonalBrain) changed PersonalBrain to use icons very similar to the ones I created. Also gone is the giant, unnecessary 'PERSONALBRAIN 5 PRO EDITION' button that previously was at the top right corner. Easeus data recovery wizard pro 10 9 download free. I also created a new background for PersonalBrain, but it wasn't included. If you're interested in downloading the background, you can get it here.

The full list of new features in PersonalBrain 5 is located here thebrain.com [pdf]. I won't go through the entire list, but I will mention a few highlights. The biggest new feature is the outline view – which offers another way of visualizing your data. This feature is probably the most useful for newer users. When I first started using PB it took some time to adjust to the mindset of having parents at the top, siblings to the left, 'other relationships' (I'm not sure what the official terminology is) off to the right etc. The new outline view makes it very apparent what the relationships are between each node.

Another great new feature is the ability to save 'expanded views.' It replaces my previous method of taking a ‘snapshot' of my Brain which was simply to take a screen capture. The new presentation view is useful as well. I have never given a public presentation usingPersonalBrain , but given the opportunity, I'd love to try this new mode out. Tagging was introduced in PersonalBrain 5 and while I haven't used it much, I think it has some good potential. Also new are some nice Mac only features like iCal and Spotlight integration which are definitely welcome.

On the whole, PersonalBrain 5 is a solid release. Pdfpenpro 10 2 3 download free. Most of the changes are evolutionary rather than revolutionary, but there are enough of them to make it a significant improvement.

My Wishlist

I'm happy with PersonalBrain as it is, but since I have a soapbox, here are a few things I'd love to see in the future.

iPhone app. This is surely the hardest, and possibly the least likely item on my wishlist. If, however, there was an iPhone app for PersonalBrain that could sync with the desktop version it would be amazing.

Better keyboard navigation. Currently you can navigate PB almost entirely by keyboard, but doing so involves using lots of 'F' keys (F7 creates a parent thought for example). Keyboard shortcuts would be much better if they the common conventions of using the command key on OS X or the control key for Windows. Even better would be to allow user-customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Sync. Lately I've had a big need to use PersonalBrain on two different machines. Dropbox has made this fairly simple. I put my whole PersonalBrain file in Dropbox and it syncs automatically to any computer that I've installed Dropbox on. There is one potential pitfall though–if I forget to close PB on one computer then open it on another it causes some, non-fatal, errors. I leave screen sharing (VNC) enabled on my home computer so if I leave PersonalBrain open I can login and close it on the home machine, but sometimes if I've closed the laptop at home I can't do that and it's problematic… but I digress.PersonalBrain makers: an 'official' way of syncing PersonalBrain between machines has been long-hinted at, how's that coming along?

Even more native look improvements. As mentioned before, PB has come a long way on OS X, however there are still some major areas for improvement, most having to do with the bottom half of the screen. PB could take a great leap forward by cleaning up the interface down there, even without adding any new functionality.

Some philosophizing about PersonalBrain

The PersonalBrain website lists 12 'top PersonalBrain Uses.' Unfortunately, I think that they still miss the real benefit of PersonalBrain which is that you can have an infinite amount of information connected in extremely flexible ways all stored in one place. No other piece of software does this. Consider the following diagram. It's a little complex and cluttered, but it illustrates well the uniqueness of PersonalBrain (click to enlarge):

If you're a curious person, if you want to know something about everything, if you're a generalist, an aspiring polymath, a reader, a researcher, you can't beat PersonalBrain for organizing all the stuff you come across. Nothing comes close.

Let me preface the following thoughts by saying that I am strongly biased towards the way I use PersonalBrain. Some of these thoughts are controversial for those who use PB in other ways, which is fine, some controversy is welcome.

I think that the list on thebrain.com gets most of the top uses for PersonalBrain wrong. Most of the items on the list are things that could be done in PersonalBrain but could better done with other software. Before I dive into specifics, let me reiterate, PersonalBrain is quite possibly my favorite piece of software and I use it every day. My criticism is meant to be constructive.

The uses listed on thebrain.com

1. Visual bookmark manager. I think this is better done by something like delicious.com and the del.icio.us extension and/or native browser bookmarks. I have bookmarks in PersonalBrain, quite a few actually, but I prefer to keep the majority of my bookmarks in the browser where they can be tightly integrated and easily accessed as I'm browsing.

2. File and everything in your life manager. In OS X I use the Finder and I use Windows Explorer in Windows. These programs are built with the specific purpose of managing files and they do it well. I have hundreds of file attachments in my PB but I still can't imagine trying to use it as a general purpose file manager. As far as the 'everything in your life manager' part goes, I'm just going to ignore because it's not specific enough to be meaningful. Grandtotal 5 1 4 – create invoices and estimates.

3. Capturing expertise and special interests. This is the best item in the list. It ends with this gem: 'PersonalBrain becomes your ultimate reference.' Indeed. I think that (or something very similar) should be right on the front page of the site. Make this one number one in the list, make it bold, elaborate on it for a few more sentences and make the font size 3 points bigger.

4. Competitive Intelligence and Product Development. I like this one too. I think it could be a great addition to any PersonalBrain though I wouldn't create a separate brain just for this.

5. Research and Analysis. Another good one, though why the heavy business focus? Because that's where the money is? Fair enough, but it minimizes a whole world of other research.

6. Event planning. I think this would be done better in iCal or Outlook or Entourage or even in a mind map or an outline. PersonalBrain just doesn't seem like a natural tool for this.

7. Brainstorming and mind mapping. I much, much prefer Freemind or MindManager for this. If it's a finite brainstorming session or a mindmap related to some specific, ephemeral project then I'd prefer to capture it in mindmapping software where I can use it, then be done with it (again, perhaps attaching it to a PB node when I'm done.) I think suggesting PersonalBrain for general mind mapping is confusing because it lumps it in with specialized mind mapping software that all have specific features thatPersonalBrain can't (and shouldn't try to) compete with. Another way of stating this is that PersonalBrain is a great mind mapper, but not a great Mind Mapper.

8,9,10,11,12. I'm not going to cover each one specifically because the general problem with each them is the same: you could find specialized software that would better suit your needs. It isn't that you can't do any of these things in PersonalBrain, it's that PB is not the 'best tool for the job' and presenting it as such only serves to take away from the real uses of PersonalBrain.

A Personal Note

Webbla 1 6 5 – A Visual Bookmark Manager

My PersonalBrain has over 5000 thoughts. 5179 as of this moment to be specific. I have grown to 'trust the system.' If you've read GTD you'll understand the significance of that statement. If I was sent to a deserted island and could only take one piece of software, it'd be PersonalBrain. I have enough reading material in the attachments to keep me busy for the next 10 years. There are enough areas to left to explore to last me a lifetime, which is what I plan on doing–spending a little time every day for the rest of my life adding to both of my brains, myPersonalBrain and the one on top of my shoulders.

I have much more I could say about my uses for PersonalBrain, and at some point I'll create another video showing how I use it, but for now, thanks for reading, feel free to comment and disagree (or agree) as much as you'd like.
